St Chalet Posted 15 September, 2010 Share Posted 15 September, 2010 If anyone has had the pleasure of owning an X300 Jaguar 4.0 Sovereign could you confirm whether it had the following feature? My daily runner to the station (I wouldn't have my doors dented or sit in traffic in anything else) went for the MOT last week, normally this gives me the feeling like being on the greens in Monopoly and seeing your brother owns multiple hotels on Park Lane and Mayfair..... However, I phoned through expecting to hear the damage to be greeted by a reply that "it had passed". Luckily I resisted the temptation to say "are you sure?". Ironically most of the seruious advisories that were present last year where no longer an issue, therefore I conclude that Jaguar adopted a self-healing feature on this model (not sure whether it was standard or optional). I always loved the Herbie films, so was wondering if any other SWF members have owned 'magical cars'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillyanne Posted 15 September, 2010 Share Posted 15 September, 2010 I once owned Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but I sold to a local motor museum. This is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 26 September, 2010 Share Posted 26 September, 2010 I had a magic car, you put a tank of fuel in and, hey presto, after barely two hundred miles it had magically disappeared. It was a Peugeot 106 and shortly after buying it, I realised I no longer wanted this magical fuel-drinking car, and sent it back to the garage.

St Landrew Posted 26 September, 2010 Share Posted 26 September, 2010 I have a magic car. It has a very small engine, but produces 110bhp. Is ultra reliable, and never needs topping up with oil. It goes from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, has a top speed of 150mph, yet returns 45-50mpg. Impossible..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 27 September, 2010 Share Posted 27 September, 2010 I bet it is a model car and all bhp, accelerating time and top speed are all scaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble was the roof leaked, no heater or air con and when you hit a wet manhole cover on a bend my i got this strange rash all down one leg.

Mine has a good heater though and the air-con is as fresh as there is. It's even got an outside temperature indicator [can you believe it..?] I'm not saying anything about the manhole cover.

buctootim Posted 27 September, 2010 Share Posted 27 September, 2010 It's even got an outside temperature indicator [can you believe it..?] I thought that was useless addition the first time I saw one. Actually very useful in the winter to know if its +1c or -1c though. Unexpected ice can make big changes to your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unexpected ice can make big changes to your day. Indeed. Took my magical car out to the shops this evening. It started to drizzle/rain. I put the heater on, just for my hands. I forgot to mention before that it doesn't have windscreen wipers. It does have a windscreen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
